A basic income would be basic, as in really, really low
That’s a pretty major thing that routinely gets only vaguely handwaved at. What does “really, really low” mean, in numbers? “Comfortable living” is a very ill-defined measure and not usually associated with “really low” income, anyway.
Really really low basic income already exists, for example all residents of Alaska get a “dividend” each year which varies somewhere around $1,000-2,000. Presumably, UBI would be greater, but how much greater?
